Looking for a suitable platform to showcase your wares and creative flair, and enhance the visibility of your brand's offering while ensuring environmental sustainability and helping the less privileged during the season of giving?

Join the Sustainable Christmas Market (SCM) to present your merchandise, garner brand awareness, perform, or spearhead a workshop, while ensuring environmental sustainability and uplifting the lives of disadvantaged children. 

Sustainable Christmas Market

Dates: 16 & 17 November 2024 (Saturday and Sunday)

Venue: South Beach 

This holiday season, we are interweaving the spirit of giving and the power of sustainability in one special event. Held at South Beach on 16 & 17 November 2024, the SCM is a catalyst for change, targeted at fundraising for the Singapore Red Cross (SRC) Young Hearts programme. 

All the proceeds from the event will be channelled towards the Young Hearts programme. Embracing a multipronged strategy prioritising education, mentorship, and enrichment, the Young Hearts programme nurtures the holistic development of youth from families struggling economically, strengthening their cognitive abilities, while enhancing their self-awareness and confidence in a safe space. Your support will provide these youth who grapple with turbulent family dynamics, and cramped living conditions, with the opportunity to break out of the cycle of intergenerational vulnerability and advance in life. This paves the way to create a more sustainable and brighter future.

Presented by the Peace of Art and spearheaded by Mrs Eunice Yeo, this year's SCM immerses patrons, vendors, performers, and supporters alike in a uniquely Singaporean Christmas. Themed 'Generations for Green' and 'Kampung Kinship', SCM interweaves the tapestry of our rich Kampung heritage steeped in traditions with modern sustainability as it champions green living to aid children of low-income families. Every sale supports disadvantaged children while promoting eco-friendly products that blend the wisdom of the past with the innovations of today, to create a greener legacy for tomorrow.

The Sustainable Christmas Market, a celebration of Singapore's vibrant culture and commitment to environmental and social sustainability, offers children the opportunity to become compassionate Changemakers by leveraging their creativity to make a positive impact on the lives of people in need.
